Ohno dominated a lot of the match with multiple hard strikes and heavy moves. This match showed that Riddle is never far away from a victory though. This was good for both men, but this whole feud has really been about building up Riddle. It&#8217;s working.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Riddle holds his fist out to Ohno for a fist bump. Ohno walks away at first, but he turns around and walks back to the ring. Ohno holds his fist out for Riddle, but when Riddle goes for a fist bump, Ohno grabs Riddle and throws him into the ring post. At ringside, Ohno drives Riddle into the ring steps multiple times. Ohno then downs Riddle with a rolling elbow. With Riddle helpless and nearly unconscious, Ohno gives him a fist bump.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was mostly a year in review, and that&#8217;s fine. I liked the match though. I didn&#8217;t mind their Takeover match for what it was, but this was certainly more interesting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Official Results: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/wwenxt\/2019-01-02\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/wwenxt\/2019-01-02<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matt Riddle and Kassius Ohno have a rematch from Takeover in a show that was otherwise a recap of the best of NXT in 2018. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4598,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[255,297,622],"tags":[883,1146,1478,671,1150,1149,2083,737,638,567,1130,1477,7],"class_list":["post-4597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nxt","category-show-results","category-wwe","tag-cathy-kelley","tag-darryl-sharma","tag-florida","tag-full-sail-university","tag-kassius-ohno","tag-kayla-braxton","tag-matt-riddle","tag-mauro-ranallo","tag-nigel-mcguinness","tag-nxt","tag-percy-watson","tag-winter-park-fl","tag-wwe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4597"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4597\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4599,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4597\/revisions\/4599"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
